Question of the Day–To Call or Not to Call

As you all know, last night I had a really fun date with SpeedDating Guy. In an attempt to not screw up my chances of being asked out on a second date, (assuming of course, SDG hasn’t by some weird chance found my blog, in which case, um, hi SpeedDating Guy), what do I do now? Should I call and say thank you, I had a nice time, etc.? If so, when? Or should I just wait it out and see if he calls? Afterall, I do subscribe to that whole If he’s interested, he’ll call. belief. Well, sometimes.

Your thoughts please.

Do not call. To anxious = bad. And I’m a guy so my vote counts as 2

And by that, of course, I meant “too”

Don’t call- despite the stupidity of all of those “The Rules”-type of books, that’s one I’d always adhere to. And despite what could be a blow to your ego if he doesn’t call, don’t you want (in the long run) a guy who is excited about calling you and wants to talk to you? You’re too good for some guy who’s only half-heartedly interested. Just remember, it’s his loss

I’m so glad I’m not the only girl who agonizes over this crap… I’ve gone both ways…and I honestly don’t believe it has any effect. If he likes you, he’ll probably call. By the same token, if he likes you, he’d probably be happy to GET a call as well.

And if he doesn’t? Screw ‘im.

Just my $.02, whatever that’s worth.

If I remember anything from my dating days (sigh)… I’d say don’t call. Give it a few days and see if he’ll call. If he doesn’t, then we can regroup and see what’s next.
I know, these rules suck and are *so* silly, and still - they must be followed.
However, don’t forget he’s probably also following rules of his own - so he’ll probably wait at least 2 days (not too seem to anxious).
I hope he calls soon!

Fingers are crossed that he calls you, but I would say wait till Saturday to call him…don’t want to seem to anxious….good luck!

Laugh all you want, but if you call too soon you can scare off a nice baby who’s ready to party.

SUE
Don’t listen to him. You call whenever it feels right to you.

MIKE
How long are you guys gonna wait to call your honeys?

TRENT & SUE
Six days.

If he doesn’t call you in a few days, consider calling him. He might be shy or something.

Wow. I am in a HUGE minority here, cause my instinct is CALL! Why not? You had fun. If he did too he won’t care that you called! If he didn’t…well then he wasn’t going to call you anyhow!

Why are so many people saying don’t call? Very very interesting…

I would maybe drop an email OR call. But not both. And if you do not hear from him, HIS LOSS!

Let me know what you decided!

And I am laughing realizing that my last response is probably why the men I went out with during my stint with the dating world ALL told me I came across confident and assertive! (Much to my surprise! I guess I hid it well!)

HOWEVER with that token of advice, you have to be true to yourself. Period. Don’t be confident asssertive girl if you aren’t feeling it…and don’t be waiting by the phone girl if you aren’t feeling it. (Note: make sure waht ever you are feeling is never, ever enhanced by alcohol. All of the above is null and void with alcohol!)

Just say NO to drunk dialing! I always thought that someone should make a breathalyzer for the phone. Set it up before you go out…and you are always safe!
